Merry had just started to fall asleep when he heard his door open and bare Hobbit feet cross the wooden floor.
"Merry?" Pippin's voice was soft. Merry kept his eyes shut, hoping it was just a dream. But when Pippin said, "Merry," a second time, and shook his shoulder, he kew it was no dream.
"What, Pippin?" Merry sighed, opening his eyes.
"I can't sleep."
"Just . . . Close your eyes."
"It doesn't work," Pippin said in a small voice. "There's too much light in my room, and it's too cold, and I'm not used to sleeping alone . . ."
Merry rolled onto his back and lifted a corner of the blanket. "Get in."
Pippin scrambled happily into the empty side of the bed. "Night, Merry."
"Goodnight, Pippin."
Pippin's breath evened out, but Merry couldn't fall back to sleep. He reached down and began fondling himself beneath his nightshirt.
"Merry, are you . . . wanking?" Pippin asked, aghast.
"Go to sleep, Pippin," Merry replied, his fist still a tell-tale movement beneath the sheet.
Pippin closed his eyes, but he didn't sleep until Merry was finished.
